Who's got time for faded words
There's nothin' new we haven't heard
I wish to hell that I could tell the truth
From all the lies we keep inside

Behind closed doors
Inside our minds
I pray to heaven, save us from ourselves
Well, here I am
Another day
A lifetime's past since yesterday
Still I am no farther than before
Through all the roads and paths we walked
Endless nights alone we talked
Those miles will never mean a thing

And I (I) never thought we had a chance
So you (you) you should fly away, and I will fade

Sometimes life can be so hard
You do your best and still you're scarred
I like you better than myself
And on this point we disagree
You give your love, you're never free
For, break your heart is somethin' I couldn't help

And I (I) never thought we had a chance
So you (you) you should fly away (fly away) and I will fade (and I will fade)

Have you got time for faded words
I've somethin' here you haven't heard
Wish to hell I could of told the truth
Well, there's all these words I couldn't say
A lifetime's past and gone away
Still I am no farther than before

And I (I) I think that maybe we had our chance
So you (you) you flew away, so I will fade (I will fade)
I will fade
You flew away
So I will fade
I will fade
